Flying the photography drone is as you did before. My suggestion is to lock the altitude and fly parallel to the ground. If you use a camera remote controller or an app, then it is really easy to take the photo or record a video. However, if you use the switch, as we discussed, then you need to open and connect your drone to the mission planner via telemetry, go to the flight data, right click on the map, and then click the Trigger Camera Now option, which will trigger the Camera Shutter button and start recording or take a photo. You can do this when your drone is in a locked position and, using the timer, take a shot from above, which can be a selfie too. Let's try it. Let me know what happens and whether you like it or not. I have a few suggestions for taking good pictures and recording videos, using the drone.

Overview of this book
With the use of drones, DIY projects have taken off. Programmers are rapidly moving from traditional application programming to developing exciting multi-utility projects.
This book will teach you to build industry-level drones with Arduino and ESP8266 and their modified versions of hardware.
With this book, you will explore techniques for leveraging the tiny WiFi chip to enhance your drone and control it over a mobile phone. This book will start with teaching you how to solve problems while building your own WiFi controlled Arduino based drone. You will also learn how to build a Quadcopter and a mission critical drone. Moving on you will learn how to build a prototype drone that will be given a mission to complete which it will do it itself. You will also learn to build various exciting projects such as gliding and racing drones. By the end of this book you will learn how to maintain and troubleshoot your drone.
By the end of this book, you will have learned to build drones using ESP8266 and Arduino and leverage their functionalities to the fullest.
